TIE the KNOT

Say ‘I do’ within the beautiful grounds of Rockliffe Hall…

You’ve found that special someone, now it’s time to find the perfect venue. Cue Rockliffe Hall.

Set within 365 acres, our beautiful estate boasts an exquisite wedding venue with settings for wedding breakfasts, civil ceremonies and evening receptions.

Whether you are dreaming of a grand wedding pulling out all of the stops, or perhaps envisage a more romantic and intimate gathering, the romance of Rockliffe offers a truly memorable experience. Our experienced team can arrange all the extras too and, because no two weddings are held on the same day, it truly is your big day.

There is no wedding venue quite like Rockliffe Hall. Enjoy the beautiful vista of the 18th century Old Hall from the contemporary, airy Rockliffe Suite which boasts its own private garden, terrace and bar for your celebrations.

With flower beds bursting with colour all year round, and breath-taking views, the beautiful gardens and grounds offer plenty of choice for photos. The marblepillared entrance hall and ivy-covered Garden Arch are firm favourites, while the Old Hall’s Victorian features give that wow factor.

When it comes to the food, it will come as no surprise that Rockliffe Hall’s award-winning food is on a par with the resort’s luxury surroundings. Our wedding menus have been created using the highest quality ingredients and feature seasonal local produce. Looking for something different? We have a range of alternative dining options. From traditional Italian antipasti and small plates, to outdoor fire pits and hog roasts, our team of chefs will work with you to create the perfect menu for your special day. Looking to extend your big day into a big weekend? No problem. Prolong your celebrations and take advantage of the award-winning spa, beautiful bedrooms and Championship golf course, or perhaps a BBQ to clear fuzzy heads the following day, reliving cherished moments with those you hold dear? The possibilities are endless. Speak to our dedicated weddings team to receive a bespoke proposal on wedding packages for your celebrations.
